Why the BoomSlang model 2?

  The original BoomSlang had superior computers installed in it.  These new 
OOSoft flight computers were ground breaking in scope and concept.  OOSoft 
systems were able to function autonomously without a pilot!  Unfortunately a 
fact noticed by the terrorist organization: the Blender Liberation Army; 
otherwise known as BLA.  They infiltrated the shipyards with one of there cyber 
hackers.  He was able to corrupt all of the first production run of BoomSlangs 
with an evil BLA virus infection.  It was set to trigger on a specific date.  It 
was the anniversary of the Great Blender Wars of [planet].  On that date the BLA 
virus took total control of the flight computers and automatically flew their 
ships to [planet].  Once there the virus promptly burned the computers out.  
Thus stranding hundreds of BoomSlangs in orbit.  It was an impressive sight on 
OO N N news feed.  I can still see the head lines: 

	BLA virus commits denial of orbit shutdown.  

  Of course the solution was to refit the older model 1 BoomSlangs with normal
flight computers that lack the advanced OOSoft automation.  As well as the 
production of the new model 2's with are actually just a model 1 with a simple, 
conventional computer controls system installed.
